The Sidewalk

I walk my boyz (“dogs” if you are a friend I have yet to meet) on the sidewalk almost every day. We encounter lots of people on the sidewalk, with the exception of the Winter months. Most people are weenies and don’t get out much during the cold weather. We do. Today it was 33 degrees.

Today we passed only one other person. A lone lady runner.

A few weeks back we passed a group of runners. The boyz and I stepped off the sidewalk as we normally do so the runner’s stride would not be interrupted. I understand this because I used to run back in the day. I hated to stop.

They passed by without a “thank you” or any hint of a smile – just like always.

On that day, I decided that I would “never” step off the sidewalk for runners again. My thoughts got ugly as I concluded what an arrogant bunch they are.

Happy Birthday Jesus

It’s almost time. A chill is in the air, people are laughing and singing, the madness of the season is going strong. Christmas Time is Here! So much to do because Santa Claus is coming to Town!  

Ring those Silver Bells - there are parties to attend, gifts to purchase, packages to wrap and lots of food to prepare. Are you Rockin Around the Christmas Tree?  Christmas trees to purchase, lights to hang and we can’t forget to Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly.  Candy to make, cookies to bake, dinners to plan and friends to see.

It is going to get craaaa-ra-zy.
